As the semester continues here at UTA, the questions of campus carry still lurks around campus. In this story, we dive into how the UTA Campus Carry Committee is working to help ease this transition of Conceal Handguns on campus, and we hear from a student who wants to educate students and faculty about campus carry. He references 3 commonly misguided questions of campus carry based on his experience attending nearly all the campus carry meetings here at UTA.

In our final edition of COLA@50, we feature students in the College of Liberal Arts. We met with one of the new College of Liberal Arts Senators and see what his plans are to expand the Liberal Arts Department, a student who protests for the Latino Community in an unconventional way, and a music education student, who thrives against adversity.

What if someone told you “you can’t do that because no one before you could?” What if someone that meant the world to you unexpectedly passed?What if throughout all the doubts and adversity, in retrospect, you realized everything happened for a reason? I had the opportunity to interview Lilly Bailey, a music education student and friend who overcame some of life’s most difficult obstacles.
